heh...I did this on vugraph. It should happen more than people do it imo.
What systems are better at MPs vs IMPs

When you risk your secure +620 for the sake of a 1 imp gain, please do so against me and make sure it is only an 80% RISK.

Are you referring to hand 20 vs Canada in the semis where you played for Wolpert not to have made a takeout x of 1C on 109xx/Jxx/AQJxx/x, or is there a juicier one I didn't see?
This one seems good (assuming Wolpert isn't known to take strange actions like this), probably well meeting the requirement of being (significantly) worse than 12:1 against. Since USA1 were the favorites, though, it probably wouldn't be worth it if it were only say 20:1 against or some such -- in addition to the variance, there's the psychological blow. (Of course, the latter depends on your psychology and whether you'll be needled for letting the one imp get away.) Anyone want to guess odds on the above hand having existed and Wolpert having doubled?
